ESCANABA — The Bay College Foundation, Alumni Association and Norse Athletics invites the community to the 30th anniversary of Swinging for Scholarships, the Bay College Scholarship Golf Outing taking place on July 15 at the Escanaba Country Club.

The event begins with registration at 11 a.m. and a golf shotgun start at noon.

Lunch, hospitality on the course, live and silent auctions, course contests and a steak and shrimp dinner will follow. All proceeds from the golf outing support student success through scholarships.

“Over the years, this event has helped over 313 academically deserving students achieve their educational goals at Bay College,” officials said in the release. “The Bay College Scholarship Golf Outing promises to be an exhilarating day of golfing, networking, socializing, opportunities, and excellent vittles.”

The format is a four-person scramble, choosing the best ball of your team for each shot. Anyone hitting a hole in one on hole 13 will win a brand new Chevy Equinox sponsored by Riverside Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac. Space is limited.

To register, call the Bay College Foundation at 906-217-1700, email foundation@baycollege.edu or visit www.baycollege.edu/golf.

Sponsorship opportunities are also available, with benefits that include everything from signage and media recognition, to a golf team at no additional charge.

Founded in 1972, the Bay College Foundation connects businesses, organizations and individuals to the rewards of changing lives and advancing communities with higher education.

Without scholarship assistance, many students would not be able to afford a college education, organizers said.
